K’taka involvement in Prada deal invites Maha artisans' ire
Hindustan Times
|December 14, 2025
Days after a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was inked between Italian luxury fashion brand Prada and two government-backed associations from Maharashtra and Karnataka to introduce a limited-edition line of sandals inspired by the iconic Kolhapuri Chappal, artists from Maharashtra's southwestern district have objected to their counterparts from the neighbouring state reaping benefits from the collaboration.
Prada, on Thursday, sealed an agreement with Maharashtra's LIDCOM (Sant Rohidas Leather Industries and Charmakar Development Corporation Ltd) and Karnataka's LIDKAR (Dr Babu Jagjivan Ram Leather Industries Development Corporation Ltd), with the Italian brand planning to make 2,000 pairs of sandals inspired by Kolhapuri Chappals in the two states.
The deal comes months after Prada courted controversy over cultural appropriation, when models of the renowned fashion house were seen wearing footwear that resembled Kolhapuris during a show in Milan.
